The Life You Can Save by Peter Singer

The Life You Can Save by Peter Singer

For the first time in history, it is within our reach to eradicate world poverty and the suffering it brings. A billion people struggle to live each day on less than many of us pay for a bottle of water. Nearly ten million children die each year from poverty-related causes. Our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible. If we are not to turn our backs on a fifth of the world's population, we must become part of the solution. This is the right time to ask yourself: 'What should I be doing to help?' Peter Singer's unflinching, persuasive and rigorous book is a call to action. It not only suggests what you should be doing, but also shows you how you can do it. It shows you the life you can save.

Peter Singer is Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Author, co-author, or editor of forty books on a range of topics, Singer is best known for Animal Liberation, widely considered to be the founding statement of the animal-rights movement. In 2005, Time magazine voted him 'one of the 100 most influential people in the world.' He lives in Melbourne, Australia, and is married with three daughters.
